Developer jagaprasanna thanked Zach Mueller and the Lambda team for lending him 16 H100s ($40K worth of compute) for a week. He built an inference cluster from scratch, deployed multiple models and pushed them to production scale, going through the full journey from cluster setup to large-scale deployment.
He is now writing up the experience and plans to publish it, and is also looking for full-time roles in AI infra and inference workload optimization.
